This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

We found this old matchbook in our kitchen. It's for a coroner's election. The Democrat candidate is on one side and the Republican candidate is on the other. (lemmy.world)

Coroner doesn't really require much skill. It's basically an administrative position. The medical examiner is the one who needs medical experience.

(It still shouldn't be an elected position though.)

Idk, I've had to deal with coronial inquiries and I can't imagine what it would be like if the Coroner was just some random person instead of, well, an actual coroner.

It seems like electing your neighbour the lawnmower guy to run your divorce court instead of letting a judge do it.
